SGP/QCRAD/E27 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration coefficients
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE27.c2, sgpqcrad1longE27.s2, sgpqcrad1longE27.c1, sgpqcrad1longE27.s1
Description:
Logger reverted to previous years configuration, possibly due to power outage and 
non-current logger program in storage module.  Note, the tracker had failed during this period as 
well.

The configurations are as follows:

Data must be reprocessed for all shortwave instruments; longwave instruments are 
unaffected. The following corrections must be applied:

down_short_diffuse_hemisp(new) = down_short_diffuse_hemisp(old) * 118.49/111.68
up_short_hemisp(new) = up_short_hemisp(old) * 116.66/111.85
short_direct_normal(new) = short_direct_normal(old) * 123.30 / 111.03
down_short_hemisp(new) = down_short_hemisp(old) * 128.92 / 104.15

Reference instrument DQR D090521.1
Suggestions: 
Recalculate shortwave flux data as described in the discussion.
